PLASMA: Parallel Linear Algebra Software for Multicore Using OpenMP

The recent version of the Parallel Linear Algebra Software for Multicore Architectures (PLASMA) library is based on tasks with dependencies from the OpenMP standard. The main functionality of the library is presented. Extensive benchmarks are targeted on three recent multicore and manycore architectures, namely, an Intel Xeon, Intel Xeon Phi, and IBM POWER 8 processors.
